We heard today that Paul Allen the owner of the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers passed away. He had a lot to do with the world of sports in the Pacific Northwest among many things.
Not only was he an owner in sports he was the co-founder of Microsoft along with many other businesses. He died of complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma which he originally had when he decided to step aside from Microsoft however it returned recently.
Paul Allen gave a lot of his money away as well especially to medical research. I hope someday non-Hodgkin's lymphoma will be one of the illnesses that will not be around.
The players who wore the uniforms of the Seahawks and Trail Blazers are saddened by his passing with what he did for each of them. He wasn't the normal owner in the sense of the word and he wasn't the normal billionaire either.
Thank you so much for you did and accomplished for the Pacific Northwest along with the rest of the world. You did something with the purpose you were created for. I am sure we will feel it and be appreciated for many years in the future.
